Finding the right mental health support can be a powerful step toward lasting change. I work with individuals ready to explore what's holding them back and open to discovering healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges. Together, we’ll address issues such as anxiety, depression, treatment-resistant depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and mood disorders. I also have extensive experience with bariatric patients, both pre- and post-surgery, as well as individuals managing codependency or struggling with emotional regulation.

In our work, I blend the latest evidence-based therapies—like CBT, DBT, acceptance and commitment therapy, and supportive therapy—with medication management to provide a comprehensive approach to your mental well-being. I believe therapy is deeply personal and unique for everyone, so I also incorporate personality assessments and value inventories where helpful, tailoring the approach to fit you.

I offer a non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. With over 20 years of experience, I understand the importance of a compassionate, direct, and practical approach. I am dedicated to creating a supportive environment where you can feel safe to work on yourself, trust the process, and make meaningful progress.

This journey may ask you to be open to difficult truths and new perspectives, and I’m here to work just as hard as you do, helping you navigate the path toward a healthier, more balanced life. Whether you’re managing life-long patterns or recent challenges, we’ll work together to help you find resilience, improve coping skills, and feel better equipped to handle whatever comes next.
